Donate FAQ's

Is my donation secure?

All donations are processed through Caron's secure website. Caron provides security through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), a recognized authentication and encryption software. In other words, the site becomes locked while you are giving us your information and unlocks only when you leave the secured area, and your payment information is "encrypted" so it is unreadable to anyone outside the transaction process.

Caron is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization. All donations to Caron are tax deductible to the full extent of the law, as no goods or services were provided in consideration of your gift. Please note that if you received an auction item or service, these items are not tax deductible because you are getting something in return for your money. Only donations above the value of the goods or services received are tax deductible.

We suggest utilizing UPS or FedEx when mailing donations of more than $1,000 to ensure the safety of your gift.

When you provide a check as payment, you authorize us either to use the information from your check to make a one-time electronic fund transfer from your account or to process the payment as a check transaction.
